As summer is winding down and fall approaches, you know what that means… Christmas is coming!

Many church music departments have already begun planning for their Christmas music productions; if you haven’t yet, it’s time to get started.

Here is a question to consider: is your mixing console everything you’d like it to be?

If the answer is no, there is good news.

Several manufacturers have recently released new digital mixers that are both cutting-edge and budget-friendly. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s true!

Here is a brief comparison of three innovative new mixers on the market.

If a digital, “all-in-one” type of mixer is what you’re looking for, I can easily recommend any of the above.

The Behringer X32 can be used for larger venues and permanent installations, while the Line 6 StageScape M20 and Mackie DL1608 are much more portable and useful in smaller venues as well as youth rooms, children areas, and anywhere that doesn’t require a large mixing desk.

That said, any of these consoles would be a wonderful way to mix and capture upcoming events at your church.
